Backstroke specialist Jon Fox is a Paralympic, world and European medallist and returned to the pool for his third Games in Rio and claimed more medals for ParalympicsGB.

2016 saw Fox return to his best and he claimed two silver medals in Rio in the Men's S7 400m Freestyle and S7 100m Backstroke having already taken the domestic 100m Backstroke title earlier in the year at the British Para-Swimming International Meet.

A regular
figure on the British Para-Swimming Team for the almost a decade Fox (England) has medalled at every major championships on the international Para-Swimming
circuit. 2014 and 2015 were quiet years for Jonathan Fox, working on returning
to his prime ahead of the Rio 2016 qualification period and a move to the
National Performance Centre in Manchester.

In 2013 Fox defended his earlier world title and added S7 400m
Freestyle bronze at the 2013 Worlds in Montreal.

His second
Paralympic Games came in 2012 in London, where he became Paralympic Champion to
better his 2008 performance of silver and won gold in the S7 100m Backstroke –
Paralympic GB’s first gold in the pool at London 2012.

He made
his mark on his IPC Swimming European Championship debut the following season,
winning three golds and two silvers, including the individual S7 100m
Backstroke and 400m Freestyle titles in Reykjavik.
